IM PROVEMENT IN LAM P-STAN DS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 218,579, dated August 12, 1879-; application filed January 22, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J osEPH RoBIsoN, S12, of Birmingham, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and Improved Lamp-Stand, of which the following is a specification.

Figure 1 is an upright view of the stand. Fig. 2 is a plan of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention has for its object a lampstand which can be readily attached to a table, shelf, sewing-machine, &c., and will securely hold the lamp placed within it.

It consists of a clamp, A, a screw, B, aring, C, and two uprights, D D, on which is a slide, E, all arranged as shown to form the complete Iampstand.

When in use the clamp grasps the edge of the sewing-machine table or other table, shelf, &c., and is firmly secured by means of the screw. The lamp is then set within the ring,

with its handle between the uprights,and the slide is then moved down upon the lamp-handle to hold the lamp safely in place.

I am aware that there are many designs for lamp-stands, but know of none better adapted than this to the purpose designed, nor of any by which the lamp is so well secured as by this simple device of the two uprights and slide, as shown. I

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The herein-described lamp-stand, consisting of the clamp A, the screw B, the ring C, the uprights D D, and the slide E, constructed, arranged, and operating substantially as and for the purpose described.
